The funny thing about this shop, was that it looked like a small shack. It didn't matter where it showed up. In the middle of an alleyway in the city, a corner of a space station, in the middle of the desert with no landmarks. The only places it didn't show up would be in the skies, or under the sea, or in prisons etc. It would appear, stilled from time and space, having no apparent link to anything around it.
The other funny thing was that no one else could see it, except the person who desired to see it or needed to see it. It wouldn't appear to others with them unless their help was required. If anyone carried weapons, a huge sign would appear asking them to leave their weapons at the door. It didn't matter what language they spoke, they could have only a verbal language and they would still understand the sign. Any magic was temporarily disabled upon entering the place.
Upon entering, whatever sounds that flooded the outside creased to exist. The air here was different. Dimension travelling beings would note that it was a pocket dimension.
Inside one would find a bar counter, some shelves on the back carrying items of interest. Objects from various places that shouldn't go together. A ray gun next to a prosthetic metal arm. A unicorn horn next to a laptop. It was all strange indeed.
In the middle of the shop, stood a well, with water as clear as crystal. The smells of freshly baked bread would waft through the air. Any customer who entered was offered a piece of bread and salt, together with a candle. Whether one would accept it or not was different... because the shop owner was Fae.
A black-haired elf stood behind the counter, dressed in a tunic, like he had stepped out of the middle ages.
"I suppose you have questions. One, I am Dorax. Two, this is a Wish Granting shop. It appears to those who need it's services, or want it. If you can pay the price, you can have it. You came here for a reason."

OOC note:
Dorax's shop is meant to help you facilitate some RP stories.
Got a curse you're tired of? Trade something else for it.
Want an exotic pet for your chara? Doax can get his hands on it for a price.
Lost your voice and looking for one? Trade an arm for it!
No iron would be allowed inside his shop.
Do note that this shop will not exist in continuities that are entirely strict on no-magic unless the owners are willing to bend things. If your chara enters a canon that does not allow such a thing, do note the item will not exist in that world, or at most, only exist in an augmented reality manner.
If your chara seeks to influence another chara, I'd require the other person's ooc consent to it as well.
I reserve the right to not interact with your charas if they're intending to assault the shop/Dorax. His shop does not allow that to happen.
Dorax follows these laws:

Dorax follows these laws:
- Deceit is encouraged when offering a Fae Boon.
- The Fae can only grant the wish if the wisher accepts the offer by making the wish clearly after offering to grant their wish.
- The Fae has to inform the wisher that they would have to offer an item of equivalent value, and that once they have agreed to a Fae boon, they have to go through with it.
- An item offered by the wisher cannot be taken back by the wisher as a second thought.
- Unless the offered item has an equivalent value, or higher, the offer must be rejected.
- Should the wisher fail to offer a suitable item, but desires the wish, the Fae can take something of equivalent value.
- Value is judged based on the importance of the object to the wisher. For instance, a singer would value their voice more than a normal person.
- The Fae has to follow the exact words of the wish.
- The Fae has to do their best to gain the upper hand in the deal. Stronger and older fae may resist this.
- Items bartered cannot be used by the Fae who grants it, they hold on to it like currency. If the Fae wishes to use it, they have to give up something of an equivalent value to receive their own Boon. The same laws apply to them.
- Faes cannot grant new magic, but they can transfer magic between people depending on what is given. They cannot make new magic out of no where, but if the Fae holds the magic, it can be released to someone.

I walk in and look around pulling my cloak down and opening it. "Hello by chance do you have any sword of awesome power that also look amazing?"I say.
Dorax looked up when Zenith came in and he rubbed his chin at the other's request. "Sword... sword..." He said before taking out a butter knife.
"Best sword I got here that looks pretty good. Cuts butter like a charm, and you can keep it in your pocket too," he said nodding before placing it on the table. Not sure what else you might want for an awesome sword that looks amazing. Good swords hardly look amazing if you ask me. Just sharp."

I too would enter not bothering to take off my sweet shades glancing around the shop and such observin*the many oddities on display.
“do you took payment or something like that? I would wish to purchase a dragon and phoenix egg plus the black forest cake and unicorn horn please?” I would inquire curious.

Dorax glanced over as Dave entered. "Well it's not a purchase... to get it, you have to offer something of equivalent value. Mind you, is it something you really want?"
“yes I will offer up my shades and such. My sweet sweet shades.”
Dave would pass up his shades to dorax.
“It is something I want that is worth getting.”
Dave would pass up his shades to dorax.
“It is something I want that is worth getting.”
"Actually there is a sword that's even sharper then most that looks awesome sadly its not In this universe." I say sadly.
"also I'm not Stupid I'm really not that's just a plain butter knife so if you don't have any swords I'll take the Sonic screw driver." I say placing a plasma powering device down.
The fae shook his head.
"Don't expect you to be stupid, but this one's sharpened," he said taking a hair to cut it in half. Not bad honestly... for a butter knife.
Glancing at the sonic screw driver, Dorax picked it up and waved it about. He glanced at the plasma powering device. "What's that?"
"Don't expect you to be stupid, but this one's sharpened," he said taking a hair to cut it in half. Not bad honestly... for a butter knife.
Glancing at the sonic screw driver, Dorax picked it up and waved it about. He glanced at the plasma powering device. "What's that?"
"it can be used to power plasma or starship weapons I thought it would be at least good enough as the Sonic screw driver." I say looking around.
Dorax blinked a little at Zenith. "So you want to trade that..." he said pointing to the plasma device. "For this?" he asked holding up the sonic screwdriver.
Turning to Dave, he glanced at the sunglasses (Sorry missed yours earlier)... before he spoke to both.
"Well now see... I don't operate on wants. This shop operates on needs. It's a wonder how you came here if you don't need anything from it... or from a fae. Ain't just one kind of fancy shop that you can trade things for something. Doesn't work that way. See here, these stories of faes granting wishes... Shop don't work on what you want. Ain't a pawn shop... ain't that sort of short. Nope, this shop is one where you come when you're on the end of the rope."
He picked up a potato. "See here? One of these rare potatoes from the Irish Potato Famine, worth a lot. Fellow traded it for information he needed. I work on needs."

The fae would shoo them out if they didn’t need anything before picking up the phone to call Acme Corporation.
“Hello? Yes I’d like to complain about the security system you installed...”

Isaiah ran past the storefront, skidded to a halt and walked inside.
"Do you have bigger-on-the-inside technology?"

Dorax took the pokeball and placed it on the counter. "Yep."
"Is it anything like time lord tech? I need to reverse-engineer it into my backpack if I'm going to go on any adventures."

Dorax shrugged. "No idea about that. I just sell these bits, you'd have to do the installation yourself." It wasn;t that he wasn't willing to help but he was limited in a sense.
"Nevermind, I'll look elsewhere"
Isaiah leaves the shop empty-handed.
